Press Room

Toronto, August 8 2016 – babyTEL, a leading Canadian Voice over IP provider, showcases its adapted softphone for Canadians with disabilities at the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC) 2016 Conference, booth #45.

The majority of current communication devices are not made for disabled persons, as they require the use of hands and fingers. There are adapted solutions, but they can be costly. Since many disabled Canadians have access to a laptop or PC, ROAMbaby Access was developed to work with the user’s current adapted devices.

ROAMbaby Access is adapted softphone that works on PC, Mac, iOS and Android phones and tablets. The softphone can be controlled with an adapted keyboard and mouse, using keyboard shortcuts and 4 different scanning modes allowing people with disabilities to make and take phone calls.

“We are excited to showcase ROAMbaby Access for Canadians with disabilities at ISAAC 2016,” said Stephen Dorsey, CEO, babyTEL. “With over 3.8 million Canadians living with a disability, we have developed an adapted softphone that can be used by disabled persons to stay connected with their friends and families.”
